Retained list released

Re: Retained list released

he did his in the December and if kept him out until the October, and he was in his early 20s.

Bennett has a lot more miles on the clock. it could be October, or or could be a few months more than that. if wages are tight we can't afford to be giving one of our larger ones to someone who won't be able to play for the first half of the season

Yes, but its not beyond the realms of possibility that Warnock will sign one of his old favourites in spite of an injury

Re: Retained list released

yeah I wasn't sure where to fit Tomlin in on that formation.

In the treatment room or McDonalds.

Re: Retained list released

Seems to me disgraceful that the club withdrew contract offer to Joe Bennet because he was injured.
He’s been an outstanding servant and great contributor who’d done enough to be accommodated in some way.
Shows how insincere and mercenary it’s all become.

Re: Retained list released

A bit more ruthless by the club that, but with such a greater focus on youth I felt Jonny Williams was a good player to keep around.

The club isn't a charity

Players know the risks and if they have been sensible they'll never need to work again.

The club can't afford him so time to go.

Where is it stated that the club withdrew a contract offer?

Re: Retained list released

surprised about Joe, though his injury would have played a part in the decision, i always liked Joe as a player

I can understand Sol leaving, he wants 1 more season, but he must be one of the top earners, also if we want to challenge for the Prem, we will need slightly better

Re: Retained list released

From a business perspective, the decision not to retain the services of Bamba, Bennett and Williams is to be commended. As has been said, the club is not a charity and more to the point, it needs to be more prudent than ever in the aftermath of Covid.

In a perfect world it would have been nice to retain Sol in some capacity for another 12 months but I don't think the club is in any position to make such a kindly gesture.

One of those is fit to start next season, under 30 and likely to be on wages not much higher than what a League 1 club would pay.

In a perfect world Sol would recognise we've already paid him since the 6th of March 2019 without much return as a player. We've done our bit for him as an aged player and hopefully he returns in the future in a non-playing role.

Re: Retained list released

How people's attitude changes.
On here people are questioning the release of Williams whilst in another thread people are agreeing that he does a lot but doesn't actually achieve much, doesn't add much to the team when he does play and has a lousy goal scoring record.

Looks like the club has made your minds up for you.

I suppose people are wondering why we paid a fee for him and gave him 174 minutes before releasing him.

Yes, I'm one of them, but from his stats it seems he flatters to deceive. If it frees up wages for someone who can make a difference it's a good thing.

'm guessing wages weren't that large, but yes I agree.
I like him as a player, but if he's not going to be first choice then he's only blocking a path for a youngster to get some game time

Re: Retained list released

Good to see such a shining comment on Colwill from the Wales camp. Apparently a great attitude and very professional. Lets hope he shows it for the club in the coming season too. A good International experience could do him the world of good.
